On the day before, F-16s unleashed PGMs against improvised explosive device locations near Ramadi. In action on Nov. 21 in Afghanistan, A-10s strafed an enemy firing position and one Warthog unloaded a 500-pound bomb. A day earlier in Afghanistan, a B-52 bomber struck enemy militia targets near Kandahar.
